A chip van near Bentley
Corporate fish and chip catering in Bentley, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. For leaving dos and a monthly Fish Friday, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Bentley, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bentley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Bentley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
